Readers of The Olympian voted their Kaiser Permanente location as the best urgent care or walk-in facility.
Olympia Medical Center in Olympia, Washington.
Kaiser Permanente Olympia Medical Center in Olympia, Washington, does it again, earning silver for the best urgent care or walk-in facility in The Olympian’s 2024 Best of South Sound. This is its second year earning silver in this category and the third year in a row ranking on the list.
Urgent care is the best option for non-life-threatening injury or illness. And thousands of readers agreed the department at Olympia Medical Center is one worth visiting as they voted for their top care locations.
Olympia Medical Center’s welcoming culture has been present in the community since the 1970s. The warmth and care Kaiser Permanente employees provide is evident as members return to receive care year after year for their health care needs.
“The repeated recognition of Olympia Medical Center illustrates just how successfully their team puts the member first,” said Debra Lemke, South Sound area senior director of operations, Kaiser Permanente Washington. “There is a trust between the care team and the community, and we are so proud of the care team and staff.”
Olympia Medical Center’s urgent care is open 7 days a week, every day of the year. This helps reduce some of the traffic in the emergency room at the nearest hospital — just half a mile down the street.
